Speaker 1: What's that? Andrew? Oh hey, Gandhi, oh hey, what do
Speaker 1: you sound so happy?
Speaker 2: Just because you know it's another episode of sauce on
Speaker 2: the side.
Speaker 1: I know, but it's so misleading. So if people don't
Speaker 1: know you and they just hear you on the show,
Speaker 1: you sound like this happy. Oh my god, I'm so
Speaker 1: loving and amazing, and people who know you one get
Speaker 1: a different voice and two that's all I have to
Speaker 1: say about you.
Speaker 2: Well, what a lovely day it is. It's all Wednesday, folks.
Speaker 2: Welcome back this week is Joe Kim Booster. He's a
Speaker 2: comedian and has the new Netflix special Outstanding, and.
Speaker 1: I got to see a preview of it. It's actually
Speaker 1: pretty cool. It's all about the queer community and how
Speaker 1: stand up has worked for them, how they've worked with
Speaker 1: stand up, and how things have changed over the years.
Speaker 1: Are we allowed to say queer community because for some
Speaker 1: reason it feels like I shouldn't. However, that's the easiest
Speaker 1: way to refer to LGBTQIA. Plus that community, right is
Speaker 1: the queer community. And all of my friends who are
Speaker 1: part of it say queer community. They seem to have
Speaker 1: no issue with me saying it. But something about it
Speaker 1: feels weird, you know, like there are words that are
Speaker 1: not bad. Yeah, but then when you say it, you
Speaker 1: feel like you're saying it the wrong way.
Speaker 2: I get you.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Should I ask him? Or you think you'll get mad?
Speaker 4: Ummm? Let's try it.
Speaker 1: Do we know anything about him? Is nice?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Very nice?
Speaker 1: How do you know?
Speaker 4: Do you know him?
Speaker 1: What are you saying this stuff to me? I? Should
Speaker 1: we just get right to it.
Speaker 2: Let's get to it.
Speaker 1: Alright, he's here, let's go all right, Joel Kim Booster.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to have you here. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for having me, Thank you for coming in. I
Speaker 1: feel so honored because you have a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: going on right now. I just watched your stand up
Speaker 1: special on Netflix, which is a couple of years old, right,
Speaker 1: two years old. And I watched a documentary that you
Speaker 1: are a big part of, called Outstanding, which is perfect
Speaker 1: for June, all about Pride and it's about stand up comics.
Speaker 5: The history of stand up comedy. Yeah, yeah, from a
Speaker 5: lot of different angles. I am a very small part
Speaker 5: of that tapestry of our history, but I'm very honored
Speaker 5: to be included in the doc but yeah, really it's
Speaker 5: so comprehensive.
Speaker 4: It really covers everything from really like.
Speaker 5: The first like Robin Tyler legends, oh yeah, the first
Speaker 5: out gay person to have a late night stand up
Speaker 5: comedy set, and it goes all the way through my generation.
Speaker 1: And it was incredible watching the evolution and how much
Speaker 1: things have changed. But there was one line specifically that
Speaker 1: really got me. It was when Robin Tyler was talking
Speaker 1: about humor being an important part of the movement in general.
Speaker 1: Do we still feel that that's the case.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think humor is still hugely important because humor
Speaker 5: is so disarming, you know. I think humor can really
Speaker 5: take a person out of themselves in a way, because
Speaker 5: you know, the sort of the genesis of a laugh
Speaker 5: is like surprise, you know, like it's it's an involuntary response.
Speaker 4: In a lot of ways. And I think.
Speaker 5: That's really helpful when you're trying to a sort of
Speaker 5: humanize yourself to people who might not see you as
Speaker 5: human and be change people's minds a little bit, or
Speaker 5: at least sort of get them into a headspace where
Speaker 5: they're willing to, you know, engage with ideas beyond their own.
Speaker 1: How do you feel it is right now navigating making
Speaker 1: other people laugh. Is it difficult?
Speaker 4: No, I listen.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's any more difficult than it
Speaker 5: has been in any other point in human history. I
Speaker 5: think that what's happened is there's a lot of things
Speaker 5: that have changed, Like the Internet has changed things, certainly.
Speaker 5: I think that there's a lot of people who are
Speaker 5: exposed to a lot of like, you know, memes have
Speaker 5: actually really changed comedy because it's there's a lot of
Speaker 5: like first thought, jokes are now disseminated as memes, okay,
Speaker 5: And so then as a comic, you go out on stage,
Speaker 5: you can't say the joke that has just been the
Speaker 5: circulated meme. You have to go a little bit ahead
Speaker 5: of where the audience is. That's the challenge of being
Speaker 5: a comic is you have to be ahead of the audience.
Speaker 5: If someone a lay person, say, can make the joke
Speaker 5: or has shared the joke on Twitter, then you have
Speaker 5: to make a better joke. I don't think there's anything
Speaker 5: off limits that you can say. I think you just
Speaker 5: have at the end of the day, it just has
Speaker 5: to be funny enough, and you're never gonna make everybody laugh,
Speaker 5: but you know what you have to worry about is
Speaker 5: the audience in front of you that night live on stage.
Speaker 1: Do you feel safe on stage for the most part,
Speaker 1: you know, Will Smith's lap, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle got
Speaker 1: attacked by that guy recently. I was watching somebody who
Speaker 1: got into a little Twitter war with someone else and
Speaker 1: left a comment about his three month old son. The
Speaker 1: guy showed up at the show and punched down.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, listen, I listen. I've had a beer bottle thrown
Speaker 5: at me on stage. I've experienced heckler's. Luckily, I've never
Speaker 5: experienced a heckler when the rest of the audience wasn't
Speaker 5: on my side. It's usually just like one random crazy
Speaker 5: person or someone who you know didn't realize I was
Speaker 5: the one who's going to be performing that.
Speaker 4: Night, or a bachelorette party. This is my thing with that.
Speaker 5: I do not understand why you, as a bachelor lorette,
Speaker 5: would want to go on a night that is about you,
Speaker 5: that is all about you, would go to an event
Speaker 5: where it's actually about me. Now, babe, you know, like
Speaker 5: I get that, you want to be the center of attention,
Speaker 5: So go to a place where you can be the
Speaker 5: center of attention. Not where everyone else is literally paid
Speaker 5: to pay attention to someone else. It doesn't make any
Speaker 5: sense to me. But no, like every comic is going
Speaker 5: to experience and push back in some form or another,
Speaker 5: and you know, some of it's scarier than others. But
Speaker 5: I think that, like, I don't know, man, sometimes comics
Speaker 5: really like to like put themselves up on the cross
Speaker 5: and act like this job is way harder than it is.
Speaker 5: And it's just like, if you are funny enough, it's
Speaker 5: not going to be a big issue.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that bottle that got thrown at you.
Speaker 1: Was it in response to a joke or was it
Speaker 1: just drunk assholes in the it was?
Speaker 4: I mean it was a little bit of both. I was.
Speaker 4: It was in Vancouver, actually, which is one Canadian I
Speaker 4: know that can even supposed to be friendly.
Speaker 5: But no, it was clearly it was like these two
Speaker 5: like bikers and their wives. And this was at a
Speaker 5: point in my career too where I was headlining, but
Speaker 5: like I wasn't well known. This was people who had
Speaker 5: no idea who I was. They were just coming to
Speaker 5: the comedy club that weekend and these people just like
Speaker 5: clearly were not prepped to see someone like me on stage,
Speaker 5: and I remember they came out and like, within the
Speaker 5: first couple of minutes I sat, they were just like
Speaker 5: talking clearly, like not please. I at one point went
Speaker 5: over and interrupted them and I was like, I can't
Speaker 5: tell if you hate me because I'm gay or because
Speaker 5: I'm Asian, Like which.
Speaker 4: One is it? Like is it both?
Speaker 5: And just trying to like, you know, break the tension
Speaker 5: a little bit with that corner because they were talking
Speaker 5: in a way everyone in the audience could hear, and
Speaker 5: so their wives were immediately like no, no, no, no, no, we're
Speaker 5: not like that. We're not like that way. I promised
Speaker 5: to promise, I promise, but the husbands were giving very much.
Speaker 2: The thing we are.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the rest of the audience was into it, but
Speaker 5: like it was so distracting and so finally I was like,
Speaker 5: you guys have to either head out or shut up.
Speaker 5: And that's when it all started. And then security had
Speaker 5: to come and as they were being you know, kicked
Speaker 5: out of the show, one of the guys chucked a
Speaker 5: beer bottle at me as he was exiting the theater
Speaker 5: and it was great. I mean it missed me by
Speaker 5: a long drive. I think, Thank god he had been
Speaker 5: drinking several beers that night. I think his aim was
Speaker 5: a little bit off the MLB. He is not primed for.
Speaker 5: But yeah, and then one of the security guys said, like,
Speaker 5: I'd be careful, they're waiting for you outside.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: Luckily though, the club was at the bottom of the hotel,
Speaker 5: so I didn't have to leave the club at all.
Speaker 4: I hope they didn't wait too long.
Speaker 1: So you were talking about people not being used to
Speaker 1: seeing someone like you, and you did point out you
Speaker 1: are queer and you are Asian? Is it South Korean?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, how did you get into comedy being Asian? Because
Speaker 1: I too am Asian South and you know that's not
Speaker 1: necessarily our forte. We're getting there, But how does this
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that somewhere some parents were disappointed.
Speaker 1: And I know you adopted by white people.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, my parents are evangelical, so they were adopted.
Speaker 5: They were disappointed for different reasons.
Speaker 4: Are listen.
Speaker 5: I started stand up like anybody else, started stand up
Speaker 5: like I started going. I did a one off show,
Speaker 5: tried it for the first time, did five minutes, did
Speaker 5: really well and got it, got hooked. And then you know,
Speaker 5: after that first time doing really well. There were many
Speaker 5: bombs that followed, but as I figured it out, but
Speaker 5: I just started going to open mics.
Speaker 4: I started in Chicago. I did the open mic scene there.
Speaker 5: I did some you know a lot of alt rooms
Speaker 5: there too as well as I was like figuring it out,
Speaker 5: and then moved to New York and dove right in.
Speaker 4: And you know, I was just like a lot of people.
Speaker 5: I worked like a fifty hour week day job, and
Speaker 5: then as soon as I was done at my job,
Speaker 5: I would go to the open mics, hit up as
Speaker 5: many open mics as I could until you know, midnight,
Speaker 5: one am.
Speaker 4: And then do it all over again.
Speaker 1: What was the day job?
Speaker 5: The day job I worked into so I was an
Speaker 5: early my first job out of college. I worked at groupon. Okay,
Speaker 5: I was like a temp. I started as a temp.
Speaker 5: I was like the seventy second employee of Groupon before
Speaker 5: you know, as they were getting huge. But it was
Speaker 5: also like really intense because you're working out a startup
Speaker 5: and so everything could.
Speaker 4: Fall apart at any moment. Health insurance, yeah, no, I mean
Speaker 4: that was the big thing is that I had.
Speaker 5: I was in such deep student loan debt and I
Speaker 5: had to and I had health issues that I needed
Speaker 5: health insurance for.
Speaker 4: So I was glued to my day job for so
Speaker 4: much longer than I wish I then I really wanted
Speaker 4: to be.
Speaker 5: I was paying more in student loan payments than I
Speaker 5: wasn't rent until I paid off my loss.
Speaker 1: Wild Yeah. So at this point now you've left a
Speaker 1: lot behind and stand up is one what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Obviously you're writing.
Speaker 4: Too, yeah, writing and acting and things.
Speaker 5: It's it's the weird like paradox of being successful as
Speaker 5: a stand up is the more successful as a stand
Speaker 5: up you get, the more you asked to do every
Speaker 5: everything but stand up.
Speaker 4: They're like, can you write? Can you act? Can you
Speaker 4: do this? Let's try this? You know, and it's funny
Speaker 4: you have less and less time for it.
Speaker 1: Do you like it?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, no?
Speaker 5: I love I love writing, I love performing, I love acting,
Speaker 5: I love stand up.
Speaker 4: I love it all.
Speaker 5: It's all different little parts of my brain. So it's
Speaker 5: nice to get stimulated in different ways.
Speaker 1: So you are part of a show called Lout.
Speaker 5: Yes, right, so lou It's a it's a comedy on
Speaker 5: Apple starring Maya Rudolph.
Speaker 4: I auditioned the part. The breakdown for it was like.
Speaker 5: Snarky, like gay Asian assistant from the Midwest, and I
Speaker 5: was like, well, if I don't book this, then I
Speaker 5: need to rethink my future in Hollywood. And it's funny
Speaker 5: because one of the creators of Lut, Matt Hubbard, had
Speaker 5: written on Sunnyside, which was a short lived NBC sitcom
Speaker 5: that I started in with cal Pen that was has
Speaker 5: the distinction of being the lowest rated premiere in NBC history.
Speaker 5: So I'm part of history, thank you very much because
Speaker 5: of that show. Matt wrote on that show and he
Speaker 5: worked with me and he saw me on that show
Speaker 5: and he was like, I really like that guy, like
Speaker 5: his vibe, and they sort of wrote the character based
Speaker 5: on my vibe. And it wasn't a sure thing, like
Speaker 5: I still need to audition, but it was one of
Speaker 5: those things where they were like, all he needs to
Speaker 5: do is nail this audition.
Speaker 1: So when you go to audition for roles, do you
Speaker 1: feel like it's tougher to get a main character as
Speaker 1: a queer Asian person versus you know, straight white whomever.
Speaker 1: Because I feel like when you look at a lot
Speaker 1: of TV productions, movie productions, there is diversity, but the
Speaker 1: diversity is always the sasy k friend no no, or
Speaker 1: you know, the diva attitude best friend. It's always the
Speaker 1: side character, not necessarily the main as much.
Speaker 5: That's absolutely correct, and I think that's why, like, you know,
Speaker 5: we talk so much about diversity on screen, but I
Speaker 5: think the almost more importantly the push should be for
Speaker 5: diversity behind the camera, because when you don't have diverse creators,
Speaker 5: diverse producers, diverse execs green lighting these shows, you're only
Speaker 5: going to be left with sort of these one dimensional
Speaker 5: side characters. And that's what we're going to be given,
Speaker 5: you know. And I think like for me, I wrote
Speaker 5: a movie called Fire Island that I started with Bow
Speaker 5: and Yang, and for me, that was a huge part
Speaker 5: of that was bone And I get called in all
Speaker 5: the time to be these like best friend characters or
Speaker 5: side characters or whatever, and rarely would we a get
Speaker 5: cast as leads and be get cast in a movie
Speaker 5: together because it's like, oh, to two Gaysian guys, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 5: the position has been filled. And so I made a
Speaker 5: movie with actually four of us, you know, four queer
Speaker 5: Asian performers. And if I wait around for Hollywood to
Speaker 5: make a movie like this, a movie where I get
Speaker 5: to start with. One of my best friends, who happens
Speaker 5: to be check some of the same demographic checkboxes is me.
Speaker 5: I will be waiting forever, so I have to do
Speaker 5: it myself. I like that though, that diversity is almost
Speaker 5: the most important diversity to have right now.
Speaker 1: But back to you, because I'm fascinated by you. So
Speaker 1: you're adopted by two white parents in the middle of
Speaker 1: the country.
Speaker 4: Right outside of Chicago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right outside suburbs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. And is it true that they basically found
Speaker 1: out that you were gay because they read your diary?
Speaker 4: Yes? Journal, I'm a boy journal.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, journal, How dare I they read your journal?
Speaker 1: First of all, I have a question, where was that
Speaker 1: journal stash under the mattress? They looked under your map?
Speaker 1: Did they go looking forward or it was just.
Speaker 5: That she was My mom was absolutely looking forward, she
Speaker 5: claimed she was, and she claimed she was just cleaning
Speaker 5: my room. And I was like, how how messy was
Speaker 5: it under the.
Speaker 1: Mattress that you had to go under there?
Speaker 5: Because like at this point, I had been out for
Speaker 5: a year at school, and you also a little bit
Speaker 5: of background, like I was homeschooled until my junior year
Speaker 5: of high school.
Speaker 4: They sent me to public school.
Speaker 5: I mean, it was crazy. It's it's it's it's really isolating.
Speaker 5: It's strange. I mean, especially when you're in an uber
Speaker 5: religious household. You know, you're very everything is is, you're
Speaker 5: protected from everything, you're shielded from everything, you're held back
Speaker 5: from everything. And then they sent me to the public school,
Speaker 5: and it suddenly I have all this freedom, and it's like,
Speaker 5: you can't keep a sixteen year old under lock and
Speaker 5: key their entire life and then send them out into
Speaker 5: the world and not expect them to go a little crazy.
Speaker 5: Like within the first month of going to public school,
Speaker 5: I came out of the closet. I drank for the
Speaker 5: first time. I smoked weed for the first time. I
Speaker 5: hooked up for the first time. I did it all
Speaker 5: baby like. It was like every fear they ever had
Speaker 5: about sending me to public school, they were right.
Speaker 1: It's exactly how I picture it working. When somebody's homeschooled
Speaker 1: until they're sixteen or seventeen, or even if they go
Speaker 1: all the way through high school and then they go
Speaker 1: to college, I'm like, oh, this is about to get curged.
Speaker 5: Right exactly. I mean, yeah, normally you see that with
Speaker 5: kids who go to college. You know, for the first
Speaker 5: time they could sense that, like I was definitely living
Speaker 5: a double life. Like I and I you know, was
Speaker 5: very open outside of the home, and then I'd come
Speaker 5: home and I'd have to be this completely different person.
Speaker 5: And it was really I was. I was Handam Montana.
Speaker 5: You know, I was living a double life.
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you that's actually very Asian South
Speaker 1: and East. I did the same thing. I still kind
Speaker 1: of do the same thing. The only thing that's ruined
Speaker 1: is now my parents can listen to the show, right
Speaker 1: and now they're like, what does that mean? What did
Speaker 1: you really do that. I'm like, damn it, go back
Speaker 1: to hating my job and not listen to anything. It
Speaker 1: was much better that way. So they were looking for it.
Speaker 1: We think they found it.
Speaker 4: I looked they were.
Speaker 5: They were definitely wanted to kind of confirm that, you know,
Speaker 5: I wasn't I was out there doing things that I
Speaker 5: don't know if they for sure, you know, suspected that
Speaker 5: I was gay. I mean, listen, it wasn't exactly a
Speaker 5: it was it was fairly evident. I would say it
Speaker 5: was like, you know, I read pretty gay, and I
Speaker 5: have since I was a child. But yeah, and they
Speaker 5: read my journal. I ended up moving out at seventeen,
Speaker 5: didn't talk to them again until I was in college,
Speaker 5: and it was it was a lot, But I will
Speaker 5: say the thing is that I'm grateful to them for
Speaker 5: is that, like I haven't taken a dime from my
Speaker 5: parents since I was seventeen, and that I think is
Speaker 5: probably the most formative thing about who I am as
Speaker 5: a person today. You know, we're you know, the relationship,
Speaker 5: we mended a lot of things over the years, sence,
Speaker 5: you know, this is a long time ago now. But
Speaker 5: the fact that I sort of, you know, said I don't.
Speaker 4: Need your support to do this.
Speaker 5: Is why I think I I attributed a lot of
Speaker 5: my success to that is because I know how to work,
Speaker 5: I know how to hustle, and I know how to
Speaker 5: take care of myself, and there was no safety net
Speaker 5: for me in this business. Like I was like, I
Speaker 5: have to be a success in this industry because there
Speaker 5: aren't any other options for me, Like no one else
Speaker 5: is paying my rent.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how this is not a TV show
Speaker 1: in itself. What do you mean with you?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: I mean your entire story growing up a queer Asian
Speaker 1: homeschool kid going to public school for the first time
Speaker 1: outside of Chicago. I mean, for the love of God
Speaker 1: that you.
Speaker 4: Know, it's funny.
Speaker 5: The first pilot I ever sold to Fox and then
Speaker 5: Comedy Central was very much about that part of my
Speaker 5: life life. And then it you know, again, diversity in
Speaker 5: the executive suite.
Speaker 4: It didn't end up going it developed. It was in.
Speaker 5: Development health for a long time, and then there were
Speaker 5: a lot of notes and then at the time it
Speaker 5: was like they already had an Asian show. You know,
Speaker 5: there is this mentality in the industry a lot of
Speaker 5: time that there can only be one. It's like one
Speaker 5: and done. You know, like why in the world, how
Speaker 5: could there possibly be more different experiences for an Asian person?
Speaker 5: You know, like we have the one experience already on
Speaker 5: the network. We don't there's certainly that has to be
Speaker 5: it right and shocker, there is a wealth, a plethora,
Speaker 5: a plurality of different experiences for our communities. And that
Speaker 5: is really the frustrating part about I think being in
Speaker 5: this position of being representatives of the community is like
Speaker 5: so oftentimes like these networks will like push out like
Speaker 5: me for example, and say like this is it, like
Speaker 5: this is your gay representation, this is your Asian representation,
Speaker 5: and that's what you get. And of course people are mad,
Speaker 5: Like people in my community get mad and they're like,
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 4: Relate to this guy.
Speaker 2: You're not career.
Speaker 4: It's not this guy.
Speaker 5: Doesn't you know, represent me. He doesn't represent my experience.
Speaker 5: And they get and they focus their anger sometimes at me,
Speaker 5: which I fully understand. But the thing is is like
Speaker 5: you should just demand more.
Speaker 1: I say that all the time when people come to
Speaker 1: me to ask me anything about Indian culture, I'm like, listen,
Speaker 1: I have my answers, right, Indian culture is so vast
Speaker 1: and rich, and Indians in India will give you a
Speaker 1: different answer than Indians in America. And trust me, whatever
Speaker 1: answer I give you, they're all going to hate me
Speaker 1: for it. So let's just look at it as an
Speaker 1: individual instead of this like monolith. Yes, where you're all
Speaker 1: the same, you know all the answers, right, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what do you do for Chinese New Year?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Okay, So when something like that happens and you have
Speaker 1: the show, when you pitch it and then it goes away,
Speaker 1: is there a possibility for it to come back later
Speaker 1: or is it just direct I mean, yeah.
Speaker 5: Verse say never, it's it's always possible. I guess it's uh,
Speaker 5: it's rare. I mean it's funny. Fire Island like started
Speaker 5: as a Quibi project, if you remember Quibi r Ip
Speaker 5: I do, and then you know Quibi went the way
Speaker 5: Quibi went, and and then Searchlight bought the movie, so
Speaker 5: you know it can happen. I would definitely love to
Speaker 5: tell some version of that part of my life. And
Speaker 5: you know, I love to cannibalize my life for content,
Speaker 5: and you know, there's there's definitely a possibility down the road.
Speaker 5: If not, if not a TV show, you know, that's
Speaker 5: sort of the cheat is like I could just make it.
Speaker 1: A movie absolutely, So who would play you?
Speaker 4: Who would play you? Well, I don't.
Speaker 5: I think there's gonna need to be like a nationwide
Speaker 5: casting call. Okay, young Korean boys come out?
Speaker 1: Nothing about that sounds sketchy.
Speaker 4: No, not at all. Not to catch a predator at.
Speaker 1: All, to casting call young Korean boys.
Speaker 4: Oh god, I've trust me. I've fallen for that one before.
Speaker 1: Oh tell us tell us about I think you look
Speaker 1: young enough to play a young you?
Speaker 5: Well, no, I mean that is you know the amazing
Speaker 5: thing about being Asian is not you know, pushing forty,
Speaker 5: but on the CW, I could be a sophomore in college.
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, or a fifteen year old school I watched
Speaker 1: Never Have I Ever, and I was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: Davy is like fifteen. Yeah, the guy who plays her
Speaker 1: love interest was thirty. I love this, and it was
Speaker 1: causing some conflict within me because I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: attracted to this boy who might be a high schooler,
Speaker 1: but he's thirty, so it's okay.
Speaker 5: It's this catch twenty two In the industry too, though,
Speaker 5: of like they're like, well, we have to cast somebody
Speaker 5: who has experience who's a name. But in order to
Speaker 5: have that experience and become a name, you have to
Speaker 5: get cast, and so we're stuck in this sort of
Speaker 5: like loop where it's like they're just aren't enough people
Speaker 5: of color that are names and have the experience.
Speaker 4: And it's like, because you're not.
Speaker 5: Casting enough people of colors who can then at the
Speaker 5: name and the experience, you know, So.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's this, it's this weird.
Speaker 5: Political maneuvering, like shoving through, you know, really fighting and
Speaker 5: like trying to get your you know, as soon as
Speaker 5: that door opens, you have to like rush for it.
Speaker 1: Have you noticed any uptick in people from Korea watching you,
Speaker 1: following you?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have a I have a fair amount, I
Speaker 5: think of Korean fans.
Speaker 4: I think. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Actually, I'm going back for the first time this year,
Speaker 5: which I'm really excited about. I haven't been back since
Speaker 5: truly I was born there, and I'm really excited to
Speaker 5: go and you know, see the place where I was
Speaker 5: born and really like see and engage with that culture
Speaker 5: because that I think for me as growing up in
Speaker 5: the Midwest, as in an.
Speaker 4: All white family in an all white town.
Speaker 5: I think when I was very young, especially, my parents
Speaker 5: were very open to me engaging with my birth culture,
Speaker 5: my heritage, and they were like, do you want to
Speaker 5: learn the language? Do you want to go to the
Speaker 5: Korean America in cultural Center and all these things. But
Speaker 5: when you are eight and you feel so different already, yep,
Speaker 5: and there's no I did not meet another Asian person
Speaker 5: my age until I was thirteen years old, and that
Speaker 5: fucks you up a little bit and you just want
Speaker 5: to feel normal. And so of course when they were
Speaker 5: like offering to, you know, get me Korean language classes,
Speaker 5: I was like, hell no, I just want to be
Speaker 5: like everybody else. I don't want another thing that will
Speaker 5: accentuate my otherness. And I really deeply regret that now
Speaker 5: as an adult, obviously, because I wish I had, you know.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so much easier to learn a language
Speaker 5: when you're young, Yes, it is, but starting now, as
Speaker 5: I'm like trying to lunker in now, it's just like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, it's so hard. But like, yeah, it's
Speaker 5: It's one of my great regrets. And so I'm really,
Speaker 5: you know, excited to get to engage with my culture,
Speaker 5: my heritage in a real visceral way, you know, in
Speaker 5: my homeland.
Speaker 1: That's going to be amazing. I'm very excited for you
Speaker 1: to do this. How long are you going to spend there?
Speaker 4: A little over a week.
Speaker 5: We're gonna I'm going to be in Seoul and then
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I was born on Jaiju Island in Korea,
Speaker 5: which is such an incredible place. Jiju is like one's
Speaker 5: known because it's like one of the only places in
Speaker 5: Asia that for many years had a matriarchal power structure
Speaker 5: because the women drove the economy. There are Hanyo which
Speaker 5: are see women they free dove for like pearls and things,
Speaker 5: and women were better suited for that than men because
Speaker 5: of you know, physiology, and so the men would stay
Speaker 5: home and take care of the home and the women
Speaker 5: would work. And it's the site of the largest lead
Speaker 5: female the largest female led rebellion in history during the
Speaker 5: Japanese occupation.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I was born on an Amazon island.
Speaker 1: That's incredible.
Speaker 4: Like that, my whole life makes sense.
Speaker 1: Do you have any desire to or are you even
Speaker 1: able to connect with your wirth parents?
Speaker 5: No? I, you know, it's funny. I don't really have
Speaker 5: a strong desire for that. I did twenty three and
Speaker 5: meters to see, you know, Mike, My questions are are
Speaker 5: pretty practical. They're like, I would love to know if
Speaker 5: I have a history of X y Z medically in
Speaker 5: my family.
Speaker 4: You know, I would like to know. Am I going
Speaker 4: to go bold someday.
Speaker 1: And attack it now?
Speaker 4: Exactly?
Speaker 5: I have a pretty hell yet air But I you know,
Speaker 5: so there's those questions obviously. But I love my parents,
Speaker 5: and I you know, we had our problems, but none
Speaker 5: of that. I it's so funny sometimes people when I
Speaker 5: talk about my you know, estrangement for my parents and
Speaker 5: some of the struggles that we had. They're like, you
Speaker 5: think it was part of part of it was being adopted,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, absolutely not. My parents never, never, once
Speaker 5: did I have a complex growing up about feeling different.
Speaker 5: My brother and my sister are actually biological to them.
Speaker 5: I was the only adopted kid in the family, and
Speaker 5: I never felt different. I never felt treated differently, I
Speaker 5: never felt loved differently. I don't feel incomplete in that way.
Speaker 5: And for me, especially like I'm just sort of like Korea, Steph.
Speaker 4: Korea is a very.
Speaker 5: Conservative country, a very Christian evangelical country, and a part
Speaker 5: of me is just sort of like I had one
Speaker 5: set of parents that was deeply religious that did not
Speaker 5: handle me being gay very well. I don't necessarily need
Speaker 5: to go and do that again in a language that
Speaker 5: I cannot communicate it.
Speaker 1: They just be talking all this about you, and you're like,
Speaker 1: what am right? Hello?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So I mean, if it ever happened, if they found me,
Speaker 5: if it were easy. Also, the adoption agency my parents
Speaker 5: use is shuttered, so I have no idea where i'd
Speaker 5: even begin to look.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about outstanding a little bit. So hopefully
Speaker 1: by the time people hear this, it will actually be
Speaker 1: out because I got to preview it.
Speaker 4: When is it out out June eighteenth?
Speaker 1: June eighteenth? Oh, so they're still going to have to
Speaker 1: wait a minute because this is coming out Wednesday. Okay,
Speaker 1: so June eighteenth on Netflix outstanding. Yeah, I like getting
Speaker 1: ahead of it instead of being behind it. This is wonderful.
Speaker 4: Well lucky you got the screener.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I know I did. I was like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: just popped up in my Netflix account. This is cool.
Speaker 1: If they are not able to see that just yet,
Speaker 1: because this is going to be out on June twelfth,
Speaker 1: June twelve, so six days out. They can still watch
Speaker 1: your stand up on Netflix also, which is psychosexual. I
Speaker 1: have some questions for you about psychosexual.
Speaker 4: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: You were talking a lot about the dick pic.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: It hit me for the first time because if we
Speaker 1: talk about dickpics all the time, and I'm like, on
Speaker 1: what planet is somebody sending me a picture of their
Speaker 1: dick that I did not ask for? This is crazy?
Speaker 1: Is it very different with gay men versus straight women?
Speaker 1: Because you were just like, yeah, I just sent a
Speaker 1: dickpic and.
Speaker 4: It's a good no.
Speaker 5: I mean obviously, like when it's all men, it's going
Speaker 5: to be grosser then.
Speaker 4: You know when when it's not.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I definitely get my fair share of unsolicited
Speaker 5: dick pics. I don't send many unsolicited dick pics. I
Speaker 5: think there's like, you.
Speaker 1: Know, so many perhaps sent one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've sent them. The thing is is like, like,
Speaker 4: what is solicitation for a dick pic? You know?
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like it would be like, hey, you
Speaker 1: send me a pictureiation.
Speaker 5: Of like I think for some people's lines are very different,
Speaker 5: Like I don't ever, I often don't need to say,
Speaker 5: send me a picture of your dick. I say something
Speaker 5: coded that is, you know, the note behind the note
Speaker 5: is sent.
Speaker 1: What is the code?
Speaker 4: Dick? Hey? How are you? You know?
Speaker 1: That's what it feels like. I swear what it feels like.
Speaker 1: On Instagram, somebody will just be like, hey, you're like,
Speaker 1: hey boom dick WHOA I didn't know, so now that
Speaker 1: I know the code, you can't say no.
Speaker 5: It's always a gamble and I and that's why I,
Speaker 5: you know, try to not do.
Speaker 4: It, you know. And now it's based on like you know,
Speaker 4: grinder or something like that.
Speaker 1: Though it's like it's a whole different where it's only
Speaker 1: torsos and dicks anyway. Okay, but you probably get them
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 4: I get a fair share.
Speaker 1: Not enough, he says, not enough. If you would like
Speaker 1: to send him your dick, please do it right now.
Speaker 1: How do you respond to it? Do you respond to it?
Speaker 4: Well, it depends.
Speaker 5: I have a pretty I don't engage with a lot
Speaker 5: of my dms. I actually, you know, truthfully, I don't
Speaker 5: really look through my DMS a whole lot because you know,
Speaker 5: the the more followers you get, the crazier.
Speaker 4: Yes, the dmskid.
Speaker 1: I so what I do when people send this Most
Speaker 1: of the time, I will not engage if it's something
Speaker 1: egregious where I'm like, you're on the toilet, why would
Speaker 1: you send me that from the toilet? There have to
Speaker 1: be rules about the dick pic also like etiquette to
Speaker 1: it toilet. If it's in your picture, don't send that one.
Speaker 1: I will send them back someone else's dick. The response
Speaker 1: is out of control. People are so offended. Why the
Speaker 1: fuck would you send me a dick? And I think, mm, different, right,
Speaker 1: why would you send me a dick? It feels weird, right, it's.
Speaker 5: So funny because your impulse is exactly my impulse when
Speaker 5: I get a dick pic.
Speaker 2: Damn you, but you actually.
Speaker 1: Cool, so we know not to send you dickpics. Don't
Speaker 1: fight with you in your DM No don't oh no no,
Speaker 1: send the dick pics. You just might not get a response.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just might not see it, you know, for
Speaker 4: a long time. You know. It's usually like the only
Speaker 4: time I will like.
Speaker 5: Sometimes go through my DMS is when I'm like a
Speaker 5: little fucked up waiting in line for the bathroom at
Speaker 5: like a party or something like that.
Speaker 1: Mine's usually at the airport waiting to board a flight
Speaker 1: or if there's a delay. That's what I'm like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I got time today, Let's see what's going on with this?
Speaker 1: Do you only respond if there's a face or have
Speaker 1: you ever just gotten back to a regular you know?
Speaker 5: Uh, the level of engagement will not be as how
Speaker 5: do I put this, Like if it's wants a nice
Speaker 5: stick out of context of the rest of the person's body,
Speaker 5: like I'll be like, hey, nice one, you know, but
Speaker 5: like I'm not going to be like come over or
Speaker 5: anything like that, Like I need more info for you
Speaker 5: to get you know, I'm only going to be able
Speaker 5: to comment on what I see, you know, and if
Speaker 5: you want the full comprehensive experience, I'm going to need
Speaker 5: a full comprehensive photo too.
Speaker 1: You know, are you ever nervous about your pictures getting out?
Speaker 5: They already have, they have like a few years ago.
Speaker 1: Say that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And my only peppieve about that is listen, like
Speaker 5: it's fine. I look great in most of them.
Speaker 1: That you hate.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, but like my only the big thing that
Speaker 5: pisses me off is that they still circulate to this day,
Speaker 5: like they pop up online continually, but like they're all
Speaker 5: from like twenty seventeen, and I'm like, my god, do
Speaker 5: I look different?
Speaker 4: I look so much better now and.
Speaker 5: I and I still and I sent out my current nudes.
Speaker 1: And they won't get out, and I'm like.
Speaker 5: Why aren't these ones getting leaked? Like it's getting to
Speaker 5: the point where I'm about to leak that.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you can always do it yourself.
Speaker 5: It's so frustrating, sor but it is, like it's it's
Speaker 5: upsetting and violating, and I, you know, don't love it.
Speaker 5: I'm very lucky that I am a man, and b
Speaker 5: I'm in an industry, and I sort of like my
Speaker 5: brand as a comedian.
Speaker 4: You know, I talk about sex so much. It's not
Speaker 4: it didn't hurt me.
Speaker 5: Professionally necessarily in the way that it might hurt someone
Speaker 5: else professionally. Sure, I don't love it, but you know
Speaker 5: I'm silver lining is that I am a dude, so
Speaker 5: I'm not judged as harshly for it. I'm not as
Speaker 5: like slutshame for it, and I am in entertainment, so
Speaker 5: it's sort of like.
Speaker 1: It's only a help me out exactly. The good thing
Speaker 1: is with Ai now, I feel like if anything gets lead,
Speaker 1: she can just be.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, no, that's not me, that's not me.
Speaker 1: You can't prove it's me, that is not me. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what you're talking about. Moving right along.
Speaker 1: Has this impacted your social life, your personal life getting
Speaker 1: into standard No? Oh, I guess both.
Speaker 4: No, yeah no. In my twenties, I like, I'm in
Speaker 4: a relationship now. I I've been in a relationship for
Speaker 4: three years. I'm deeply, deeply in love.
Speaker 5: We're probably gonna get married pretty soon. But like, he's
Speaker 5: my first real serious relationship that I ever like invested
Speaker 5: the time in and have done the work with because
Speaker 5: I was working, you know, forty fifty hours a week
Speaker 5: at a day job and then doing open mics all
Speaker 5: night long and then shows on the weekend, you know,
Speaker 5: so I didn't have time. I was so career obsessed
Speaker 5: for so long until my early thirties that I didn't
Speaker 5: have time for a relationship. So in that way, stand
Speaker 5: up definitely affected my dating life because I was just like,
Speaker 5: no time for boys. And I think there was a
Speaker 5: lot of mentality for me too, where I was like,
Speaker 5: let me just like roll through all these guys, like,
Speaker 5: have all these hookups because I need the material.
Speaker 1: You got so much of it. That's actually great. This
Speaker 1: is all research for my job's that's what I say
Speaker 1: about my Google searches if and when the police come
Speaker 1: to shut it down.
Speaker 5: And it's always so funny when I hook up with
Speaker 5: a guy now and they're like, oh, I hope this
Speaker 5: doesn't end up and your act, and I'm like, the
Speaker 5: only way it will is if you get weird, okay.
Speaker 4: Like be normal, and I won't have anything to write about.
Speaker 1: You can weaponize it. This is so great. I really
Speaker 1: appreciate you spending some time with me today. This has
Speaker 1: been great. And en Lightning again. Outstanding is out on
Speaker 1: June eighteenth on Netflix on Netflix, and Your Special is
Speaker 1: already out on Netflix. Also Psychosexual Jowelkin Booster and if
Speaker 1: people want to watch Loot, that's on Apple Teams.

Speaker 5: produced Fire Island is producing my next movie that is
Speaker 5: in very early stages right now, pre production and can't
Speaker 5: give any like release dates or anything like that yet.

Speaker 5: Den Theater. I believe there are some humiliatingly, there are
Speaker 5: still I believe like a handful of tickets left for
Speaker 5: both of those shows.

Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 1: And what does the next year or two look like
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, you know it's A weird thing is in the
Speaker 5: last couple of years, like I set all these goals
Speaker 5: for myself in like my twenties that felt like unrealistic
Speaker 5: and crazy, and then I ended up.
Speaker 4: Like it happened for me like probably.
Speaker 5: So I've spent like the last couple of years like
Speaker 5: trying to figure out like, oh my god, I spent
Speaker 5: my entire life with these dreams, these goals, and now
Speaker 5: here they are so like what's next? And for me,
Speaker 5: I just want to continue to make stuff, you know,
Speaker 5: like I am really excited about this next movie. I
Speaker 5: want to continue to do stand up until I have,
Speaker 5: you know, nothing interesting left to say. And I really
Speaker 5: want to make a TV show. I would love to
Speaker 5: write a show that I you know, am writing, starring,
Speaker 5: and eping. I want I want to be this array,
Speaker 5: you know. I want to be Phoebe waller Bridge into Dunham.
Speaker 5: I want that, the whole three hat experience.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm excited for you to get that,
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited for you to go to Korea.
Speaker 1: Thank you for I think it'll be great. Thanks for
Speaker 1: spending some time with me. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: Joel Kim Booster. Okay, interesting. I feel like I got
Speaker 1: a lot of info about Dick pics, and clearly he
Speaker 1: still wants you to send them even though he is
Speaker 1: in a relationship and getting married maybe soon, I know.
Speaker 1: I bet they have a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I will say, hearing his background of growing
Speaker 2: up in an evangelical white household adopted from Korea, that's like,
Speaker 2: how how.
Speaker 1: Did that show not take off?
Speaker 2: I don't understand, completely agree with you. It's like, sitting
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 1: Stringing those words together, I was like, well, this is hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yes, home school right when they teach you up until
Speaker 2: up until junior year of high school too.
Speaker 1: And then at what point junior year of high school
Speaker 1: at a school outside of Chicago, were you like, this
Speaker 1: is the time, right, send this kid off right now?
Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 2: Because junior year, I feel like, is where things start
Speaker 2: picking up, Like you're getting ready to go to college.
Speaker 1: So you're driving, people are fucking well, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Junior year was wild, That's what I'm saying. And so
Speaker 2: it's crazy that that was the age I guess that
Speaker 2: his parents were just like, if there was ever a time,
Speaker 2: go now exactly.
Speaker 1: And then they found his diary under a mattress. I'm sorry, journal.
Speaker 1: What difference isn't it's the same thing. Are there like
Speaker 1: genders for the yes, okay, journal is male? Diaries female.
Speaker 2: Don't you remember the advertisements for that nineties product. It
Speaker 2: was like the the one where they had like the
Speaker 2: password protected one. It was like password protected diary and
Speaker 2: it was like for girls, yes, okay, but they had
Speaker 2: the journal one for guys and it was like more
Speaker 2: secret agent either, like keep your notes private, but the
Speaker 2: girl it was like story your guns here, but the
Speaker 2: girl one it was like, do you like want to
Speaker 2: talk about Bobby in your own private way?
Speaker 1: Did you have a journal or a diary when you
Speaker 1: were little? Never?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 1: Really, I still have them all, like all kinds of
Speaker 1: different ones. So one I write every day, I write
Speaker 1: one thing that made me laugh and something that I learned.
Speaker 2: I loove that.
Speaker 1: So that's like sort of my journal. Every now and
Speaker 1: then I'll var off the path. I'm sorry, sorry, my diary.
Speaker 1: I am a she her the diary is as well.
Speaker 1: I veer off the path and I'll talk about other things.
Speaker 1: But when I was little I had mad diaries, and yeah,
Speaker 1: we found one of them. It was very bizarre the
Speaker 1: timing of it, where my mom gave it to me.
Speaker 1: It was my diary from seventh grade. I fucking hope
Speaker 1: she didn't read it because I have a lot of
Speaker 1: shit about them in it. But I was also in
Speaker 1: seventh grade, so can you break? But she gave it
Speaker 1: back to me and I'd come home, come back here.
Speaker 1: And when I came back here it was like National
Speaker 1: Diary Day. Randomly, and Nate said, hey, does anybody have
Speaker 1: a diary on them? And I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I know, it's my seventh grade diary. He said, just
Speaker 1: flip it open to a page and start reading. I
Speaker 1: flipped it open to a page and the page I
Speaker 1: flipped it open to was me talking about how much
Speaker 1: I hate my current boyfriend Brandon because he was evil
Speaker 1: to me back in the day. To be fair, according
Speaker 1: to my diary, I was also evil. I was reading
Speaker 1: some of the stuff. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: mutual combat, there were allegations of racism, there were so
Speaker 1: much burn book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, burn him, YEA, burn him in your diary.
Speaker 1: I actually I have someone to burn today. Who your
Speaker 1: friend Scott Scottie. First of all, he's been on.
Speaker 2: Edge lately, very on edge.
Speaker 1: No one knows what's going on with him.
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 2: The man is bonkers, crazy bonkers. Yes.
Speaker 1: Second of all, he contacts me for every hangnail or
Speaker 1: bump into a door, like he thinks that every injury,
Speaker 1: which is not even an injury, it's just a minor inconvenience,
Speaker 1: is a huge issue and it's going to take him
Speaker 1: to the hospital. He sends me pictures of a scratch,
Speaker 1: a scrape, whatever. I will say. That is a step
Speaker 1: up from when he used to send me his belly
Speaker 1: button lint in photo. Exactly.
Speaker 2: Nasty arrest. My favorite was sorry not to cut you
Speaker 2: off on that line, but when he had like a
Speaker 2: stomach ache or something and then he took a picture,
Speaker 2: he did the IV pick sent me a picture from
Speaker 2: his bed with the IV and was like, it's not
Speaker 2: funny anymore, dude. I was like, so you're dehydrated, you
Speaker 2: tummy ache. Get real. The man is absurd.
Speaker 1: So recently he allegedly broke a toe o and then
Speaker 1: he was powerwashing outside and he like power washed off
Speaker 1: part of his foot, which I'm not gonna lie. The
Speaker 1: picture looked a little painful. But he's posting these pictures
Speaker 1: of his foot online. He sends me a text message.
Speaker 1: He was like, do you have any idea how many
Speaker 1: people have told me not to post my feet for free?
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, yeah, I started an only
Speaker 1: fans page. I'm gonna post all feet picks all the time.
Speaker 1: He asked me, can I guess on your only fans page?
Speaker 1: I said sure, why not seventy thirty split? He came
Speaker 1: back and said no, sixty forty. I said no, eighty
Speaker 1: twenty And you know what he said, I'm out. I
Speaker 1: didn't invite you to be in. You volunteered yourself up
Speaker 1: to be in it, negotiated like shit with me, and
Speaker 1: then tapped out of a project. I did not invite
Speaker 1: you to be a part of.
Speaker 2: Could I be sixty five thirty five eighty twenty sixty
Speaker 2: five thirty five.
Speaker 1: Eighty five fifteen?
Speaker 2: What sixty five thirty five?
Speaker 1: Maybe I have to see your feet? A lot of
Speaker 1: guys are trying to get in on this powe. I
Speaker 1: got big feet.
Speaker 2: I got big feet, and I could pick things up
Speaker 2: with my feet.
Speaker 1: Can you pinch?
Speaker 2: I can?
Speaker 1: Can you crush?
Speaker 2: I can?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Do you want to see?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, he's busting it out so that's my foot.
Speaker 2: Oh see, notice they're not too harry. They're a little hairy,
Speaker 2: they're not that harry. Okay, okay, that's a nice looking foot.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: Oh, I dropped my sock. Let me just and he
Speaker 2: picks you. I don't know what else they need to
Speaker 2: do pick pick this.
Speaker 1: Up, gets actually away from me. Okay, okay, maybe I
Speaker 1: will maybe have you guessed sixty five thirty five? Is
Speaker 1: that smaller foot?
Speaker 2: It's a little musty.
Speaker 1: Probably you can sell those socks on craigslist. Okay, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe if that's what you're working with, maybe we might
Speaker 1: fetch a price. But pet the girl's dad so that
Speaker 1: he made so much money doing OnlyFans in a year
Speaker 1: and a half that he bought a ranch upstate that
Speaker 1: has like hundreds of acres, hundreds of animals, And I
Speaker 1: just think there's money to be had. I'm in people
Speaker 1: like feet, and the biggest disposable income, apparently on OnlyFans,
Speaker 1: where you're gonna catch the most bait is gay men.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to have some guys because these
Speaker 1: gay men not interested in my feet?
Speaker 2: True?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Straight men? Maybe?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, if they're only showing feet, how would
Speaker 2: they know.
Speaker 1: You've seen my feet.
Speaker 2: They're dainty, they're very little. They definitely have diaries.
Speaker 1: To say, these feet are writing in a diary, not
Speaker 1: a journal. So I have to I have to lure
Speaker 1: some men to the page. So I'm gonna use your feet,
Speaker 1: Brandon's feet, maybe Scottie's, but I don't know because I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's really invited to the page.
Speaker 2: Sixty five thirty five. Again, that's all I ask.
Speaker 1: I think this could really take off for.
Speaker 2: Us if you're telling me right now that I can
Speaker 2: make a quick three fifty just from taking a picture
Speaker 2: of my feet. You just tell me day in time.
Speaker 1: If people ask you to start doing weird things like
Speaker 1: do you where do you draw a line? What won't
Speaker 1: you do with your feet?
Speaker 2: Uh? Oh okay, uh yeah.
Speaker 1: My line is I will not kill something that is alive,
Speaker 1: like stepping on bugs.
Speaker 2: And that's the only fans.
Speaker 1: That's a thing people. It's called like crushed porn, where
Speaker 1: you like crush things like a goldfish. I will never
Speaker 1: do that. I would never do only fans. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like they wouldn't allow that because it's like
Speaker 2: animal torture.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I've heard of it, and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to step.
Speaker 2: On that stuff. I had people tell me that this
Speaker 2: is a thing doing some research.
Speaker 1: I might have heard of it, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: absolutely not a penn research. Sure I will crush a cake, yeah,
Speaker 1: like a goldfish. Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: Bugs are not my forte. I am terrified of bugs.
Speaker 1: I save them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, not say I don't, but like, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to step on a roach with my foot. It's disgusting. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're not. We're not making that.
Speaker 1: I bet there's a market for gagging while.
Speaker 2: You're doing something with your feet.
Speaker 1: Probably it's a weird place out there.
Speaker 2: Andrew, well, listen, let me just tell you something hot
Speaker 2: summer days. My shoes. I'll sniff my own show and gag.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, stop, I'm gonna pick. I told you
Speaker 1: about this before. My friend Mike from Boston decided he
Speaker 1: was going to side hustle for a second and he
Speaker 1: started selling his socks on Craigslist. And he's definitely a
Speaker 1: sweaty person, so he decaid he's going to sell these socks.
Speaker 1: So he meets up with this guy he said he
Speaker 1: ran around all day, got him extra nasty and like soaked,
Speaker 1: puts him a go ahead gag because he puts them
Speaker 1: in a bag and gives him to this guy off
Speaker 1: Craigsli's seventy five dollars for a pair of use socks.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. The guy contacted him later and told him
Speaker 1: I want my money back because these are not nearly
Speaker 1: as nasty as what I was promised. First of all,
Speaker 1: I promise you, Mike, socks were disgusting. Second of all,
Speaker 1: can you request a refund from something like that?
Speaker 2: No, I'm really not right. Yeah, it's not like you're
Speaker 2: giving someone a receipt. Thanks so much for going to
Speaker 2: my sweaty sock.
Speaker 1: Depot, right, like I guaranteed to make a pew.
Speaker 2: My one friend's boyfriend is on OnlyFans. Oh and he's
Speaker 2: making so much money?
Speaker 1: Does he take out his dinner?
Speaker 2: So charges a entry fee that's just to get on
Speaker 2: the page. Okay, Then for each additional thing he up
Speaker 2: charges so, oh, do you want the dinger pick that's
Speaker 2: going to be an extra fifty Yeah. Oh you want
Speaker 2: this that's gonna be an extra hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he whips out the dinner, yes, okay, but.
Speaker 2: For the extra money. So then it's like the forty
Speaker 2: Bucks is like a tease, but you want the picks tea.
Speaker 2: It's like his balls. Yeah, or maybe it's like blurred
Speaker 2: out a little bit, like.
Speaker 1: Well, get the answer right now. I think we should
Speaker 1: get to the asking anything.
Speaker 2: Oh, let me get it, hold on, okay, yeah. This
Speaker 2: question comes from Cubert six ' four to two. They ask,
Speaker 2: and this one's fun, what's your favorite color?
Speaker 1: We already did this, I think.
Speaker 2: Okay. This one asks what's your favorite food?
Speaker 1: Have to pick like an actual, like one specific thing
Speaker 1: or can it be a cuisine?
Speaker 2: This is your desert island food?
Speaker 1: Can I say Indian food?
Speaker 2: So okay? I actually had this argument not to take
Speaker 2: over please, but we at a dinner I was at.
Speaker 2: The person said potatoes is number one as a favorite food.
Speaker 2: I'm like, is this like.
Speaker 1: Like just at like you're on a desert island.
Speaker 2: He's trying to make it sound like potatoes are multifaceted?
Speaker 2: Are they could become French fries, potato chips if you
Speaker 2: have a fryer, this what I said. But I said
Speaker 2: potatoes as a whole are his favorite food? Thoughts.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't argue with someone that tells you
Speaker 1: that's their favorite food. That's his favorite food.
Speaker 2: But Greek food came in at number three, so I
Speaker 2: was confused. Ice cubes were also in there.
Speaker 1: I'm now I'm totally thrown off.
Speaker 2: No, it's a very odd top ten.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying, Like, is it cuisine, because
Speaker 1: if it's cuisine, I would definitely pick Indian food second tie.
Speaker 2: I love it. I know, Oh my god, I could
Speaker 2: go for some red curry right now.
Speaker 1: Shall we go get it for lunch? We should probably
Speaker 1: go over there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Number two. If it's just like one item, I could
Speaker 1: see potato, but you would have to be able to
Speaker 1: cook that in all the different ways, and I don't
Speaker 1: think on a desert island you can cook it. But also,
Speaker 1: is it your favorite food or your desert island food,
Speaker 1: because those would be different too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean for me, it's like a potato is good,
Speaker 2: but it's not as good as like bread. Bread's always
Speaker 2: going to be for me higher than a potato.
Speaker 1: Mm, both carbs. I think if it was a desert
Speaker 1: island food, I'd have to go with fish.
Speaker 2: So fish is your desert island food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like there's so many different types of fish.
Speaker 1: I don't fucking know, but it seems like you could
Speaker 1: really cook it well on a fire, like a campfire,
Speaker 1: get some flavor.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. Okay, this is tough for me.
Speaker 2: I think I'm going bread bread. I could one hundred
Speaker 2: percent like the prisoner diet, like sometimes this is one
Speaker 2: of my favorite snacks and it sounds terrible. I love
Speaker 2: pretzels and water. It is a true prisoner's diet.
Speaker 1: Like you dip one in the other is done. It
Speaker 1: picks it back and forth.
Speaker 2: I'll quickly crunch a pretzel and then drink some water
Speaker 2: and be like, m yeah, that's the right stuff.
Speaker 1: You're disgusting. Diamond Andrew just said that his favorite jail
Speaker 1: snack pretzels and water.
Speaker 3: Andrew is literally a lunatic. I don't understand why I'm shocked.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't be, but pretzels and water. If I went
Speaker 3: to jail, I'm meaning everything that they have allergy list included,
Speaker 3: because then they'll send me to somewhere where like.
Speaker 1: Special people are.
Speaker 3: Probably I won't be in gin pop with the losers.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite food and then we're gonna wrap it
Speaker 1: up pizza?
Speaker 2: Hm cool?
Speaker 1: So kind of like Italian, but not really, is that
Speaker 1: your desert island food. No, because we're thinking of sustenance.
Speaker 3: So maybe like a cheeseburger, because it's hardy to like
Speaker 3: beef a steak, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I feel like that would get you high cholesterol, whereas
Speaker 1: like pizza, you could put some pepperoni or something all theregie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it doesn't have a veggie tomatoes or veggies.
Speaker 1: Oh, cheese burger, I think they're fruits.
Speaker 2: Whatever is this what this episode is about?
Speaker 1: This episode has been all over the place. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: look at the guy. Listen, guys, we gotta get Josh.
Speaker 1: He said he was gonna do it. Of course, it's
Speaker 1: sick right now again, but he told me it's not
Speaker 1: from the thing that he got him sick for all
Speaker 1: of November. It's on something else. Well, stay blessed, Stay blessed, everybody. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna sign off. Everybody, say bye bye. Oh I
Speaker 1: forgot to say catch Andrew at Andrew Pug on Instagram,
Speaker 1: Diamond and at Diamond Sincere on Instagram. I'm at Baby
